You know the one thing that’s good about Mondays? Nope, not having to top up your Oyster card in a bleary-eyed haze or hear teenagers talk about their wild Saturday nights on a crowded train – those are the rubbish bits. No, it’s all about the album streams – either for a record out the week later or a LP out that very day, to urge to pick it up while browsing the internet at work.
This one, Regina Spektor’s latest effort What We Saw From the Cheap Seats, is out week today (28 May). It’s her first album in three whole years, so stick it on the office stereo today and yourself and everyone else might just be able to go home unscathed.
Listen to it over at NPR now.
